Police have charged three men over an alleged armed robbery in Werribee last week.
Two men from Werribee and one from Newtown, all aged 18, were arrested and charged with armed robbery over the incident which occurred on Tuesday, July 25.
It’s alleged a 25-year-old man was walking along Tower Road in Werribee about 10 pm when he was approached by two males who produced knives and demanded his phone and wallet which he then handed over.
The two alleged offenders then fled the scene while the victim contacted police.
A subsequent ground and air search failed to locate the offenders, who were eventually apprehended during search warrants conducted on Friday July 28.
The three men were all remanded to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court.
